Madam Kwan's, Kuala Lumpur

Named after the founder, this chic establishment is well known for its spicy Nyonya (blends of Chinese and Malay) offerings. This rather small establishment has many mirrors on the walls, thus making it look larger than it really is. Another dining area upstairs allows you to dine either indoors or outdoors. Paintings adorn the walls, while Chinese artifacts decorate the interior. Popular items include Nasi Bojari (colored rice with fried chicken, Beef Rendang and Assam Prawn) and Nasi Lemak (coconut milk rice served with various trimmings). Try the all-time local favorite Ice Campur (crushed ice with nuts and syrup).
